“Hate to break it to you, but those two?” I nodded toward the men. “Not billionaires. Both have significant loans out and are basically drowning in debt. They just dress well.”

Hallie laughed so hard she snorted. “Should we tell them?”

“Nah. Let them have their fun.”

“They have boyfriends anyway,” she said. “For now.”

The night continued with dancing and toasts and more terrible shots courtesy of Frankie. Hallie’s mother gave a speech that made everyone cry. Frankie gave one that made everyone laugh. My friends from Valenteen congratulated me and said they’d never seen me this happy.

They were right. I’d never been this happy.

As the night wore on, Hallie and I found ourselves on the dance floor again, swaying together even though the song was upbeat.

“Today was beautiful,” she said.

“It was.”

“Thank you. For all of this. It’s perfect and memorable and just so us.”

“You don’t have to thank me. This is what marriage is, right? Taking care of each other. Making each other happy.”

“I like the sound of that.”

“Me too.” I kissed her forehead. “Ready to get out of here?”

“Where would we go?”

I sighed. “Okay, how about we make them all go? I can turn off the heaters.”

She grinned. “While I am so very anxious to get started on our honeymoon, we do have the rest of our lives. Let’s let them enjoy all your hard work. Just for a little while longer.”

I sighed. And pouted. But she was right.

And I wasn’t mad at the thought of dancing with her all night. Even if I preferred for us both to be wearing a lot less clothing.
